Stencil design and pad layout are key. Too far apart - bad. If your pad geometry is correct, try the inverted home plate. That has worked well for me in the past. That, coupled with a 5-mil stencil. With regard to solder paste, some manufacturer

Try tinning pads with a high pH water soluble flux like Kester 2331-ZX or Alpha Metals 3355-HB is what we use. It will remove the contamination quick;y without having to scrape with a blade. If you have a large number of bare boards you can run them
